Important Notes(Please Read):

• This framework is currently in Early Access and actively evolving. All core gameplay systems are functional, with ongoing improvements to architecture, modularity, and feature depth.

• Before purchasing, it is highly recommended to try the playable demo versions available. The framework includes both Third-Person and First-Person gameplay modes, designed as two separate, independent gameplay experiences. Each mode has its own gameplay feel, camera setup, interactions, and design considerations. Testing the demos will help you evaluate the controls, movement, inventory systems, camera behavior, and overall gameplay experience to ensure the framework aligns with your project's goals and expectations before making a purchase.

• The framework is built primarily around a fully developed third-person (TPS) experience. First-person (FPS) mode is included as an additional perspective and is being expanded and refined over time to reach the same level of quality and depth.

• TPS and FPS are designed as separate gameplay modes, with intentional differences in interactions and UI. A built-in runtime camera switch is NOT included, as each mode is fully tailored to its own perspective.

• Purchasing now gives you full access to all future updates at no additional cost.
